Abstract: Apparatus and method searching data in a multi record data structure with at least first and second criteria where criteria are selected for search to preferentially select criteria for speeding search based on criteria from other records.

Abstract: An improved method for generating text by using snippets of existing text and providing a command structure allowing a user to cut and paste from existing text.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using a portable device with communication capability and motion detection to act as an emergency alert system by detecting a button press or shaking of the device or other user actions and taking appropriate actions are disclosed. The portable device may take independent action such as calling a telephone number or sending a message when the alert is activated. The portable device may also communicate with an emergency alert server to take various configured emergency actions in response to an event.

Abstract: An improved method for encoding and decoding data, such as in a base64 system, uses multiple look-up tables to perform the encoding function and to eliminate or reduce bit-shifting and the bit masks in encoding systems through use of pre-populated look-up tables. One example application is converting between media data that is typically quickly viewable on a media device and ASCII or similar data useful in data transfers, such as email. In specific embodiments, a series of pre-fetch encode and decode tables are constructed and indexed to fetch pre-calculated values to, for example, rapidly encode and decode any number of bit representations into any other bit representations.

Abstract: Eyewear feature and around-the-head eyewear frame and a counter weight to reduce pressure on the nose and increase comfort.

Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligent tracking and/or play and/or management of card gaming use transponder readable chips or gaming pieces with detectors and appropriate software for determining when chips are being shared or exchanged by multiple players, thereby indicating a possible gaming team.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an image server surveillance system provide for as control and coordination of cameras that may be widely deployed, analyzing data from multiple cameras, making data available in such a way that it can be efficiently transmitted over a network and can be easily displayed to potentially a large number of users, and displaying and controlling image data by existing client software.

Abstract: A network surveillance system includes a handler process (10) for capturing network packets and filtering invalid packets, a first and second continuously sorted record file (15a, 15b), and a scanner process (30) for scanning all sessions occurring on the network and checking for the presence of certain rules (38). When a rule is met, indicating a security incident, a variety of appropriate actions may be taken, including notifying a network security officer via electronic or other mail or recording or terminating a network session. The surveillance system operates completely independently of any other network traffic and the network file server and therefore has no impact on network performance. According to a further embodiment, the invention may include remote surveillance agents (100a-c) for gathering network packets at a remote location and transferring them to a server (110) for analysis by a network surveillance system.
